Our basement has 3 sump pumps which were installed 6 years ago when we bought the house. Up until now we have had occasional minor flooding after heavy rains or when one of the pumps isn&#8217;t working. For the past month or so we have had water coming in every day. The flooding is consistent with what happens when the pumps aren&#8217;t working. Problem is, all the pumps are working, and the water level in the sumps is well below the floor level in the basement. It is turning into more than just an annoyance as we have to mop it up every day, and presumably would make a pretty bad flood if left alone for several days. Also, the water is coming in towards the front of the house- we have party walls- and not from the back where the garden is.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone have any ideas how to troubleshoot this? Can the water table change this drastically? Do we need even more pumps?<\/p>\n <span class=\"plp-active-page\"><span class=\"\">%<\/span><\/span> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brownstoner.com\/forum-archive\/2009\/05\/basement-water-2\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"\">%<\/span><\/a> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>hello, We are in the South Slope.
